Some of you have seen that I know Frank who is the owner of the batshit crazy fast Lotus Exige. How I became to know Frank, I stumbled upon his http://www.lotussport.org. Been following his car for the past 3 years now seen his car go through various stages of motor builds, drivetrain setups, wheel/tire combo's. The last 2 years I have made trips out to SoCal and was wanting to meet up with Frank but those trips never worked out on meeting up. So with a fair amount of time before I came out I told Frank I will be out and ready for a gigglefest of a ride. After meeting him he is one hell of a nice guy, one hell of a fast car.
The experience
Standing near it, looking at everything in deep detail it was a work of absolute adrenaline junky automotive art. The sound out the tail pipe is almost not of this earth with the sound of two forms of forced induction running through and exiting with the sound of turbo spooling. The smell of 100oct with a hint of alcohol was all around as the car was idling in his garage. His car is a canyon monster, the power is soo linear and like Thor's Hammer the power and immense torque hits you with the slightest push of the throttle. Through the canyons the car stuck to the asphalt and never once squealed through the tight curves.
